The concept is great, you have your little bungalow with everything you need and privacy and the communal area if you’re interested to meet new people and exchange your trip experiences. The owners are super friendly and very helpful with recommendations. The bungalow was super clean. Gated parking keeps you feel save.

This place is amazing. I booked only one night on our way from Uvita to Monteverde due to a misscalculation, and already at the reception I was feeling sorry that we were staying just one night. The welcome was so hospitable and warm, the welcome drink was the cherry on top. Our room was spacious and beautiful, stylish decor, facing the jungle as I had hoped, cause we are light sleepers. They have a lovely pool area over looking the ocean, there is also a bar and a very nice restaurant, which both close at 10pm, so there will be no noise coming to the room from there. Be sure to try the chicken dish and mango monkey margarita! All the staff were kind, attentive and smiling. I hope we can return to this place, it was so relaxing. No need to leave the property at all, but there is a small town center a few kilometers to the south with a grocery store and a few restaurants, if you want to.

The room was spacious, beautifully designed and super clean. We really liked the restaurant, both the food and the staff - Helmer and Mario were super nice! We booked the hotel last minute because our first choice turned out to be terrible. We didn't regret it, loved the place!

    Very good hotel. If you expect a little luxury this is the place to stay. Our suite was in zone D with an amazing view of the ocean. Very well equipped and clean. The property is very large and there is something for everyone. Lots of different restaurants. Interesting idea of apartments decorated in old airplanes. Very good swimming pools. Beach within walking distance. Staff very friendly and helpful.

    We just loved this park.

    We just loved this park. In a little more than a ½ day we walked all the trails except the closed one. We stopped for an hour in the café -- which is enclosed in a cage to prevent the animals from coming in! That was the first time I had a drink in a cage. The trails are great and we saw lots of wildlife on our own, including a toucan and a sloth (only saw it on our way out!). The beaches are beautiful too. The only issue is parking. I can't tell what's official and what isn't, and at the hotel they warn you your car can be damaged if you just try to park wherever rather than in their lots. We parked somewhere and paid (talked him down) but I'm not sure it was official. No issues with our car though. Highly recommend this park!

    I go there to do dental work at Crystal Dental, as their prices are 2-3 times cheaper than in the USA and the quality is better, they speak English and have German equipment. I do not care about touristy stuff, I did it on my first visit many years ago. You can take buses for daytrips. Tours with agencies are very expensive and geared for young athletic people. I wish there was a sightseeing tour for the whole day on a bus to take pictures without any hiking or horse-riding.

    If you like cooler temperatures, rainy & windy mountains in remote Costa Rica then this is for you. Its a unique experience to be that high up above sea level and theres plenty to do outside between coffee tours, ziplines & hikes. But in terms of the town itself, theres not a lot going on and its expensive but I guess thats what you pay for tranquility & remoteness. And if you're driving up there you better have a 4x4 or AWD vehicle because the majority of the roads up here are unpaved & windy AF. Spots to check out that made our trip: Don Juan Coffee Farm, the Butterfly Sanctuary, El Tigre Waterfalls, Kinkajou Night walk, 100% Aventura Ziplines for the longest Zipline in Latin America & lastly tree climbing at Finca Modelo. If you want to try authentic Costa Rican food (because hello why not!) skip out on the expensive restaurants and go to Pizzeria 3R y el Sazón de Mary - best part is that they're open late. Food was bomb! Overall, I wouldn't spend more than 2.5 days up here.

    Preferably visit on the whale watching season, and reserve a tour days before so you not lose the chance of this lovely experience, I recommend Bahía Ballena Kayaks & Tours. Beach is beautiful and relaxing, check the tide hours son you can walk to Whale's tale in low tide, and also have like 200 meters of beach to enjoy

    Quepos itself is a little rough, but Manuel Antonio is a gem. Be wary of all the hustlers on the beach. Would have liked to go fishing but the prices for charters were steep. Great eateries. I forgot the name but the seafood restaurant before the bridge into town was excellent.

    This is basically a cruse ship harbor and not much to do in low season. A few bars and stores open. A lot of tour is not given due to no crusie ship arriving in this time of the year. Also, extreme weather resultet in that most tours from Puntarenas was cancelled. If you are planning a vaccation, you should choose another city such as Jaco or Uvita. Very easy to take a 2-3 hour bus shuttle from San Jose, terminal 7-10 for a few dollars.

    This is the place to go to see the bioluminescent plankton. It was beautiful. The ferry ride was fun. We used Eddy’s tour. He was very knowledgeable about the biodiversity and the provided the best bioluminescence tour. We did have four senior couples in our group. Eddy was very thoughtful about helping some of our group into the boat

    The Nature Reserve was amazing.

    The Nature Reserve was amazing. I expected to explore for 2-3 hours and go to the beach. I didn't realize that the entry fee includes several beautiful beaches to choose from with white sand and the water is perfect! I joined a guided tour with Ricardo for $20 and it was awesome! A truly great day that lasted more like 9 hours after taking the hike to the waterfall. My only regret is not planning enough time to explore here. Souvenirs are pricey here, as in most places. If you find camisettas for $10-15 at the shuttle stops along the way, buy them. I got a delicious smoothie at the restaurant inside the Reserve. My tour partner got a sandwich that was huge.
